Account

The witness was driving to work in the early morning when she saw a large dark animal cross the road ahead and move toward woods. As she passed the crossing point, she saw a massive upright creature with long gray hair and a large white patch on its broad chest on a small hill. She returned after work and found no tracks but noticed a strong smell likened to fresh meat.
